Blood Used for Buttons.

What do you think of that? Isn't that utilizing waste with a ven- geance? Truly th1s is an utllitar- ian age. Beef from the flesh, but ter (oleo) from the fat, leather from the hides, beds from the hair, glue from the hoofs, bolognas from the entraiIs, brushes from the bones, combs from the horns, and now buttons from the blood of the bull lock. Verify the meek-eyed OK is very useful denizen when living, and positive bonanza when dead.
 When an enterprising Hebrew by the name of Hirsch first intro duced into this country some years ago the novel industry of making buttons from bullocks' blood he lost over S16,000 within the first SIX months. But he stuck to it. It was money or blood with him. He got the money. Now he has piles of wealth.
 Near Chicago, in the town of Bridgeport, there is large factory where over hundred men, boys and girls dabble in blood and evolve buttons. This firm owns another extensive factory in a diff ferent place. There are a number of similar factories in England. ln the factory at Bridgeport from eight to ten thousand gallons of blood are used every day. Only fresh beef blood is used, although it is said that pigs blood is just as good, but it g1ves too much trouble to collect and save it. Much of the blood evaporates during the process of drying, but what re- mains is pure albumen. Some of it is light in color and some dark, according to the chemical treat ment given it. These thin sheets of dried blood are then broken up and are ready to be worked into various shapes and sizes. Large quantities of blood sheets are used by cloth manufacturers for ''set- ting" the color in calico goods. Not only are buttons made from blood in this way, but tons of ear rings, breast-pins, belt-clasps, combs and trinkets are made an nually there from blood. It is a strangely fragrant but rather a profitable business.-New York Market Journal.

Strange Household Pets.

A strange bequest and strange
household pet was that which my
friend father received from his grand
mother. 1t was land turtle that she
had cared for and petted for forty years.

its food and eat out OF hand. When
ready to take his long winter sleep Dan
would peck at the bureau. when his
mistress would wrap him in fiannels

he remained dormant until spring.

But whatever he is to you, John,
He's my boy still

He had courage and love and truth,
And though he has wandered far away,

He is sure to come back to his mother;
He's my boy still.

And can remember to-day,
How often he went with me apart
And knelt at my knee to pray.
And the man will do as the boy did,
Sooner or later he will;
The Bible is warrant for that; SO
He's my boy still

And light of heart as she's

And JOY peIvades her song,
While birds essay TO thrill her lay
The trembling reeds among.
She comes to search the strcamlet's beu
For lilies white as snow,
A wreath to Irvine, that she may shine
Wherever she may go.
For she's to-day the queen Of May,
A sovereign of renown,
And tits proclaimed that all so famed
Should wear dainty crown.
She weaves the how'rets one by one,
A zone of beauty grows,
And proud Is she that majesty
Is hers where'er she goes.
Anon the village green she nears,
Where stands the May-pole tall,
And every tongue, of old aud young,
Proclaims her queen of all.
But soon those ilow'rets fade and die,
And droop athwart her brow;
Her queenly pomp mid dance and romp
Has gone forever now.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
NO FUSION.

Will the Labor Party "fuse" or
will it stand on it's own merits? is a
question that is agitating the army
of political hangers on, who care
nothing for party-only so far as it
can be used AS a means to further
their own selfish ambitions. If We
understand the object of the Cincin-
natl convention, it was to cut loose
from both old organizations and or
ganize a party on the broad doctrine
"the people ruled" Had either of
the old organizations been true to
their pledges; had they through
Legislative enactment offered any re-
lief to the great army of laborers in

would be no necessity for a conven-

there any prospect they would, hence
the birth of the Union Labor Party.

His pot policy of cheap meat and
Saving" has been so successfully
ridiculed into vapor that it Is strange
that even so cheeky a man as
Atkinson would refer to it again.
But he told the workingmen of Bos-
ton to "saye," and work more, for,
said he, "Isn't it better to work ten
CT twelve hours a day rather than
not to live at all ?"
1t dawns upon us that we have
given this Mr.. Atkinson more atten-
ton than he deserves. A person
who could utter such nonsense as he
is hardly worth hearing; but it's
the best the capitalists can do in that
line. Capitalism does not depend
upon reason but upon force for its
existence, and, perhaps after all,
force will have to be ultimately used
by the State to destroy it in the
interest of humanity.

LEADERS,.

A number of democratic" papers
are congratulating themselves and
the knights of Labor over the evil
dent sympathy that exists between
"the labor leaders" and the "dcmo-
cratic" party. We have no objection
to this sort of comforting assurance
on the part of the democratic"
Doodle press. At the same time. we
believe we are justified in telling
them that they cannot rely upon the
delivery over into the hands of their
party of the organized workingmen
by pertidious "leaders.
We have upon other occasions
pointed out to our fellow workmen
the danger of putting their trust in
these "Ieaders' these men who
have managed successfully to have
themselves placed in official position
in order to use the influence SO
gained for their own personal benefit
and incidentally for the benefit of
the enemies of Labor. And it is
gratifying to know that the Labor
Party has set its face sternly against
any parleying or coalition with the
old parties.
Now. if there is here and there a
Benedict Arnold among the officials
in labor organizations, it is to be de-
| plored, but it is pretty certain that

such creatures will get the reward
that BELTS Benedict Arnolds. Let
it be understood-there must be no
dallying with the politicians of the
Republican" and democratic" par
ties .
Those who, taking advantage OF
official position, think that they cap
influence their constituents in the
labor organizations to return to the
allegiance of corrupt and played-out
political parties, deceive themselves
and their purchasers, the ringsters
and boodlers. The old game of buy
ing "leaders' may still be practiced,
but those "leaders" will not be found
to have much of q following among
intelligent people.
In well-regulated labor organiza-
the rank and file direct the policy to
be pursued, and their agents or "ofli-
GERS" obey. And while there are
always leaders of thought among the
people, such leaders are not to be
found seeking for or occupying Off
ciaI positions. Such leaders are val
liable in the ranks, and their names
are not heraldcd abroad, nor are
they found exchanging compliments
with the ''prominents' of the day
after the fashion of the puffed-up
nonentity who leads small portion
of a certain labor organization and
who is consequently a recipient of
much praise from the enemies of
Organized Labor.
Down with the '1eaders." Let the
peoples reason lead !,

INSULTING THE KNIGHTS.
Armed Police and Military at K.
Of l.. Meeting.

When Mr.. Powderly spoke at Den
yer, Colorado, last week, almost the
entire police force of Denver and a
military company were statioeed in
the hall. The Knights are very in
dignant, and propose to find out
who the author of the outrage is.
A Denver paper says that Powderly
made mistake in not ordering the
hall cleared of these people or re-
fuse to speak. The meeting was
otherwise regarded as success, as
far as numbers went. None of the
officers of d. A. SO, K. of L.. of the
Trades Assembly or any of the local
unions were recognized at all, and
the platform was occupied only by
Powderly, Thos. Neasham, Governor
Adams, Mayor Lee, Bishop Macha-
bOenf, Rev. Father Raverdy, Judge
Steck and a few other politicians
and priests and protestant preachers.
The local labor papers say that Gov
ernor Adams speech was the best of
the evening, and the most radical.

NOT AN ANARCHIST.

Mr.. Powderly, while in Denver,
three separate times definitely made
the statement that he is is Socialist
but not an Anarchist; that he does
not believe in force or dynamite but
in the ballot, although he would not
say that he lid believe in a new
tabor party. His reticence on this
last point was a source of immense
delight to half-dozen Doodle
"workingmen" well known as such,
who flocked around Mr.. Powderly
and talked of the workiLgmen's
''inhooence' with the two old gangs
of thieves.
Now, right here is a good time to
say aprOpos that the only "Anarch
sts' there are in Denver are these
same Doodle men, and the other
idlers that infest society-idlers with
stolen wealth, we mean.
1t is an old lie and ought now to
be stale to say that the Socialists
flor all X. of LIS are such. Mr..
Powderly says) and trades unlonists
and labor party men, are dynami-
ters. We brand it again, however,
as lie, just for emphasis. We, as
whole, favor the ballot and not the
bomb, argument instead of Pinker-
tons Winchester or the bayonet of
the dude militiaman.
Friends, look at the facts in the
case. Is it the Socialistic workers
or the anarchist idlers who have
bribed voters, corrupted electors,
bought legislatures, suborned juries
and judges, stolen the public do
main, seized the water, shot down
the settlers, Winehestered striking
and starving toilers, prostituted wo-
men and sent little children to toll
in factory bells, that they might

THE DRINKING HABIT.

One of our evening contempora-
ries, who probably "knows how it is
ITSELF" is constantly talking of the
worst enemy" of I4abor--that is
the habit of drinking. The Lealer
is not likely to deny the folly of
drinking habits or to shirk for Or
ganized Labor it's due measure of re-
sponsibility and acquiescence in such
folly. But all the critics have the
maitland it is a lying and coward
ly one too-of taking the statistics
Of liquor selling, and charging all
the cost of the same upon the men
who work for wages.
There is mean sort of sOphstry
in this which is well understood by
those who use it. The purpose is
obvions, whether all who talk in
such way understand it or
no. 1t is to draw attention
from the social fact that organized
poverty is not at all the result of in
dividual temperaments or condl-
tons. II all the drunkenness or
even tipping is put solely upon the
backs Of the laboring many, then
the fortunate few who are success
full, can point with pride to the ac-
Acknowledgement that the poor man is
always an improvident man; often
an Incorporate man. 1t is a skill
full effort to throw the glamour OF
prudent and provident character
over the lives of those who absorb
the bulk Of the worlds great wealth.
AS matter of fact we pretend to as
sert that in proportion to numbers
that there is more drinking and per-
sonal wastefulness among those who
make money than there is among
those who are only able to secure
day wages. We would not claim
that a poor man has a right to gel
drunk or spend his scanty means fol
liquor without getting drunk, but
we do claim that the "classes 3" are
much more reprehensible in genera
and in particular for such habits
than are those We may term the
masses. W. y. Leoder.
